first graduate hiring program in Australia for engineering and computer
science graduates, of the 2014 batch, from universities across the

increase the local talent in Australia’s workforce.

The 2014 graduate hiring program is a core element of Wipro’s growth
strategy in Australia and is a part of its global initiative to
increasingly hire local talent in its markets of operation. Graduates,
shortlisted based on their interview performance, will be hired by
Wipro. They will then be enrolled in a six month training program that
will be conducted at Wipro’s headquarters in India. This consists of
three months of training in programing and technical skills, followed by
three months of practical training by work-shadowing on live customer
projects. On completion, the graduates will work as full-time employees
in one of Wipro’s Australian facilities. Wipro has already started
conducting interviews in various Australian Universities, as a part of
this program.

Manoj Nagpaul, Chief Sales and Operations Officer, Asia-Pacific &
Japan, Wipro Ltd. said, “Wipro is committed to become a leading
employer in Australia and is keen to hire local talent and train them in
the latest technologies and crucial skills required for the industry.
This graduate hiring program is a significant step towards strengthening
our commitment to the Australian market on leveraging the local talent
pool.”

Wipro also has been working with the Australian universities to engage
with and hire graduates through multiple channels such as participating
in career fairs, campus placement and leveraging the universities’ own
career portals.

Saurabh Govil, Senior Vice President and Global Head, Human
Resources, Wipro Ltd, said, “The Australian graduate hiring program
is another important step in our global initiative to localize our
workforce and closely follow the programs rolled out across US, UK and
Africa. Each of these are created specifically for the market and
leverages Wipro’s industry leading talent development exercise and
infrastructure. As part of the induction process, the graduates will
spend six months in our corporate headquarters in India and will be
trained in specific industries and technologies before they take on
customer projects. The key mandate is to provide practical experience to
the graduates.”

Wipro’s graduate hiring programs are uniquely structured with a strong
approach to mentorship and frequent feedback to individual graduates.
These programs aim to provide an invaluable platform for access to live
client projects and Wipro’s best-practices.

All clouds are not equal. To succeed in a DevOps context, organizations should plan to develop/deploy apps across a choice of on-premise and public clouds simultaneously depending on the business needs. This is where the concept of the Lean Cloud comes in - resting on the idea that you often need to relocate your app modules over their life cycles for both innovation and operational efficiency in the cloud.

"Once customers get a year into their IoT deployments, they start to realize that they may have been shortsighted in the ways they built out their deployment and the key thing I see a lot of people looking at is - how can I take equipment data, pull it back in an IoT solution and show it in a dashboard," stated Dave McCarthy, Director of Products at Bsquare Corporation, in this SYS-CON.tv interview at @ThingsExpo, held November 1-3, 2016, at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA.

What happens when the different parts of a vehicle become smarter than the vehicle itself? As we move toward the era of smart everything, hundreds of entities in a vehicle that communicate with each other, the vehicle and external systems create a need for identity orchestration so that all entities work as a conglomerate. Much like an orchestra without a conductor, without the ability to secure, control, and connect the link between a vehicle’s head unit, devices, and systems and to manage the ...

In this strange new world where more and more power is drawn from business technology, companies are effectively straddling two paths on the road to innovation and transformation into digital enterprises. The first path is the heritage trail – with “legacy” technology forming the background. Here, extant technologies are transformed by core IT teams to provide more API-driven approaches. Legacy systems can restrict companies that are transitioning into digital enterprises. To truly become a lead...

The Internet of Things (IoT) promises to simplify and streamline our lives by automating routine tasks that distract us from our goals. This promise is based on the ubiquitous deployment of smart, connected devices that link everything from industrial control systems to automobiles to refrigerators. Unfortunately, comparatively few of the devices currently deployed have been developed with an eye toward security, and as the DDoS attacks of late October 2016 have demonstrated, this oversight can ...

Monitoring of Docker environments is challenging. Why? Because each container typically runs a single process, has its own environment, utilizes virtual networks, or has various methods of managing storage. Traditional monitoring solutions take metrics from each server and applications they run. These servers and applications running on them are typically very static, with very long uptimes. Docke...

Today’s IT environments are increasingly heterogeneous, with Linux, Java, Oracle and MySQL considered nearly as common as traditional Windows environments.

In other cases, the applications may have been part of the IT de...

When was the last time you’ve ever heard anyone say “IT Applications & Operations”? Frankly, in my 30+ year career in IT, I don’t believe I’ve ever heard anyone use this term. The typical term we hear is IT Infrastructure & Operations. These two go together like Peanut Butter and Jelly, which tells us a lot about how we view the field of IT. For those that may not be familiar with the role of IT ...

Central to the idea of DevOps is collaboration between all of the teams involved in IT applications and infrastructure.

So, what does collaboration mean when it comes to monitoring in the world of DevOps?
In the past, different teams involved in creating or maintaining an applic...

It's a step further in the cloud computing journey...

I was walking down the street in Toronto one morning juggling a large tray of Tim Horton's coffee. Standing at a busy corner, waiting for the walk signal, I overheard the following conversation:
Woman: "I can't believe they delivered the new application with all those options. No one said they'd be live."
Man: "I know. I made the changes last week, and for some reason, they went into QA but ...

Okay, let me get this out there: I find the term “Citizen Data Scientist” confusing.
